OTAR TAKTAKISHVILI (1924 - 1989)
Following Rustaveli (Oratorio)
Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra & Chorus
Alexander Vedernikov, Bass
Gennadi Rozhdestvensky, ConductorThis is one of the rarest of the
rare Melodya recordings. Shota Rustaveli (1172–1216) was a
12th-century Georgian poet. The 20th century Georgian composer set
ideas and word of this poet to music in the form of an oratorio. It is
very unique, well performed and recorded. Transfer was taken from a
rare, but mint Melodya LP issued in 1969. The nine track are: 1. Introduction;
2. You Are Here; 3. Jwari; 4. Vardzia; 5. Palestine; 6. Native Tongue; 7. Exile;
8. Tamara; 9. Rustavili Has Died Today. The chorus and soloist singing is
even more than what one would expect. Do listen to the mp3
excerpt. High

Tragic and Academic Festival Overtures

recordings have been removed. All offered to you here with our stereo effect
process. Incomperable are Hubert Barwasher, flute; Haakon
Stotijn, oboe as well as the horn section in the generous mp3

BRAHMS
Symphony Nº 3 in F major, Op. 90*
Symphony Nº 4 in E minor, Op. 98
Concertgebouw Orchestra, Amsterdam, Eduard van Beinum,ConductorWhile
remastering these two Van Beinum recordings again, the question arose,
"Can they be performed ever again this way?" Van Beinum
was one of the most informed conductors of the past century and being at
the helm of this orchestra with its special sound could only result in
these spectacular performances. These are 'must have'
recordings. The 3rd is offered to you here with our stereo effect
process and the 4th is in real stereo. High

these two wonderful Mozart works is how they were originally issued on
LP. Both recordings are fine examples of how special the COA was
during the mid past century. The informed approach of the conductor
with Mozart's music is brilliant throughout placing these recordings at
the top of the list and offered here with our stereo effect to widen the
